Being cast in this production is like being chosen for a varsity sports team and should be viewed with the same level of dedication and commitment. You are expected to attend all required rehearsals, learn your lines, and do your part. You are also expected to maintain passing grades in your classes and follow school rules. Failing grades, excessive referrals, and excessive school absences will result in dismissal from the show.

As a member of the cast:

• I have reliable transportation after rehearsals (rehearsals end between 6:00-6:30 PM)

• If I must miss a rehearsal for any reason, I will personally contact the Director prior to the beginning of the rehearsal. If I miss a rehearsal and do not contact the Director, I understand that my lack of consideration is enough for me to be dismissed from the show entirely.

  • ALL Tech Saturdays: Saturday, March 7 AND Saturday, March 28, 9:00-2:00 PM

• If my grades or my attendance are causing me to fail classes, I understand that I will be dismissed from the show.

• I understand that my phone is not allowed on the stage during active rehearsal time, not even in my pocket.

• If I violate the phone policy repeatedly, I understand that I risk being dismissed from the show.

• I agree to assist with the production of the show in any capacity.

• I agree to meet all required deadlines set by the director, such as meeting “off book” deadlines by having lines memorized. 

• I understand that I am part of a team effort, so I must have a positive attitude and do all that I can to make rehearsals the best they can be, even on days when I have a million reasons to not be open-minded and willing to work. 

• I understand this show requires collaboration, and I agree to contribute my ideas and energy at appropriate times. 

• I understand the Director will make final choices pertaining to my role(s) and/or design(s)

• I understand that I am to remain quiet backstage during rehearsals.

• If I cause problems by disrupting the cast or the Director during rehearsal, I understand that I may lose my role in the show.
